I was wondering if anyone knows how many versions there are of the ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor 2013. Also, I would appreciate some tips about how to go about studying for it. Thanks :)

Two versions A&B. Take your practice test and study the areas that you are weak. Other than that, you can't study for it. You either have the knowledge or you don't. You can't cram an entire program's information in a couple weeks time. I took it a month ago and didn't study. I ended up with a 99% probability of passing NCLEX.

I had a 93% chance of passing NCLEX-RN on the first time on A and 98% of passing on the second. I passed boards in 75 questions and walked out knowing I passed. ATI is similar to the boards, but the boards are more based on application where at the ATI is based much more on recall of your memory. I think in my memory of the ATI it was about 15% application and about 85% recall. I had classmates who got 85% and passed and 99% and failed. It all depends on how you study for boards.
TL:DR;
ATI is useful for getting an idea, but dont use it as the end all be all, its really not much like the NCLEX.

Did you take both 2013 A and B and they focused on similar topics?
@Don1984 Thanks, I am taking it this week and have done the practice exams for 2013 (A and B) and 2010 (A and B). Reviewed the rationales and hope I'm set for tomorrow!
